Technologies, DNC & CNC Communications
Available
in 1,2,4,8,16,24,32,48,64,96 or 128 Ports with or without
hardware.
|
Simultaneous
communication sessions with up to 128 CNC machines from a
single PC at speeds of up to 230,400 baud using the
TurboExpress Port RS-232 board with Multi-DNC /2
for Windows and the Comtrol RocketPort
boards for all of the other Multi-DNC
modules. A terminal server based RS-232 solution is available
also using Comtrol VS1000 & VS1100 modules. |
| DNC
network configuration |
The DNC
network can either be set up in a "STAR"
configuration, with each CNC directly connected to the central
DNC computer, eliminating
switch
boxes (either
manual or electronic) OR a "HUB"
configuration can be used, with a shop floor hub that is
centrally located to minimize RS-232 cabling distances. |
| Client-Server
Architecture |
Client
Server is is an
option that allows multiple Multi-DNC Clients to
control one (or more) Multi-DNC Servers over a
TCP/IP network. Any
file can be
sent to any
Machine at any
time! |
| Comtrol
Ethernet Based hardware |
The Comtrol
VS1000 terminal server hardware consists of hubs mounted
in the middle of the shop floor with 4, 8, 16, or up to 64
RS-232 ports per Hub that are connected to an NetBIOS Network.
Multi-DNC running under Windows NT can use these
"virtual"
COM ports over
the network. The advantage is shorter RS-232 cabling and
centralized network management. Multiple hubs can be used for
large shop installations. |
| NEW
Job BASE for packets |
Job
BASE implements a dBase compatible Data Base within Multi-DNC
to create, manage and use Packets, which are the electronic
equivalent of printed “Shop Travelers” and can also
include pictures with up to 280 different Graphic formats. A
Packet is a linked list of either single or multiple CNC code
programs as well as other documents, CAD drawings, Operations
Sheets, Digital pictures of Machine Setups, and Tool Lists. |
